The map above shows the FT8 signals heard on 144 MHz on Friday the 4th of January.
It almost looks like it might have been on say 80m but this is in fact the 2-metre band. And all with an indoor Slim Jim vertical in the attic!
Five stations were over 1,000kms were heard so conditions were pretty good.
The common mantra is that the VHF bands are dead and nobody is on. The map shows the impact that FT8 mode is having on the VHF bands with plenty of people active.
